Make Your App a Success With These Two Tools: Discover the two simple tools that EVERY app needs to make sure your app is set up for success. 1. Knowledge Base  Well-thought-out knowledge articles are the key to self-service. In fact, up to 98% of your users' questions can be answered through a knowledge base. In the early stages of your app, FAQs can be very useful for helping your users navigate through your app and understand how to use it. 2. User Feedback Tool The more feedback you are able to collect, the more you can get an idea of what your users expect from your app, whether or not it's truly user-friendly, and whether it has all the features your audience needs.  You can then take this information to make iterations to your app to drive more user growth and happiness.

204: How to Get and Stay Focused: We live in an age of distraction. No matter what we have to do – whether it's writing an essay, working in an office, or just going about our daily lives – we are constantly at the mercy of internal and external distractions. These attention-breakers have serious consequences on our quality of work. The good news is that with our growing knowledge of the brain and improved technology, there are specific steps we can take to increase attention and improve focus. This week’s episode covers the difference between internal and external distractions and practical steps you can take to increase your focus. While our internal distractions are actually much more numerous than external, both can prevent people from focused work. I talk about the things you may be doing that prevent deep focus, then I give you steps you can take to mitigate distractions using short-term and long-term approaches. The full episode guide includes the matrix of focus along with tips by The Modern Manager

186: Create an Actionable Individual Development Plan: Great managers invest in growing their team members. But who is actually responsible for professional development? Surprise: it’s the individual, not the manager. Organizations take a wide variety of approaches to professional development ranging from none at all to reserving Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for only high potentials or those struggling the most. So where does that leave everyone else? This episode is all about taking control over your individual development plan. I walk through the process of crafting an IDP for yourself and how to work with your team members so they can own their professional growth. The full episode guide includes a detailed process for developing an IDP as well as how to work with your team members to create and manage their IDP. It also includes the template I use with my clients for documenting and tracking goals, measures of success and actions. Get it when you join the Modern Manager by The Modern Manager
